In the interest of full disclosure: I'm not sure (this is Mike by the way) I'm not sure if I correctly spelled "Semetary" the way Stephen King has it in the title of his original novel or how it's stylized for the 2019 film. I'm not going to check either because you know what? If they misspelled it for the novel, we can misspell it for a podcast.  In this episode, we talk about the latest Pet Semetary adaptation. We also start off with a nice debate over the name of the place where priests train to become priests.

Elizabeth and Mike see a movie then tell you everything about the experience - the trailers, the atmosphere in the theater, and the movie itself (with spoilers).

I heard they moved. Are they coming back? Hope so! I especially love the Christmas segment.

When you are having a bad day or just feel like laughing these pod cast are great!

So funny!

In this episode we review Nobody's Fool.  We're not going to sugar coat this one. It sucked.  And try as she might - and believe you me, she tried her damndest and almost made it watchable - even the wonderfully talented and funny Tiffany Haddish couldn't salvage this train wreck.  There was also a crazy guy in the theater who kept responding to the people in the movie as if they were talking to him. We talk to that guy as well. Wish we could have had him on as a guest, but you'll have to settle for Mike's impression of him.

Another day, another Hallmark Channel movie about a woman falling in love with the prince of a fake country at Christmas. Here's the IMDB description of the movie we reviewed today, Christmas at the Palace: "Katie, a former professional ice skater (Patterson), is hired by the king of San Senova, Alexander, to help his daughter in a Christmas ice skating performance. As Katie spends time in the castle and with the king, she and Alex begin to develop feelings for each other and ultimately fall in love. But will the tradition-loving people of San Senova allow their king to make a foreigner their queen?"

If you've listened to any of our 25 Days of Christmas episodes before, you know how much we love bad Christmas movies featuring inns.  This one has a damn inn in the title.  In our latest we review "Snowed Inn Christmas." Here's the description from IMDB:  "Jenna Hudson (Bethany Joy Lenz) and Kevin Jenner (Andrew Walker) are polar opposites working for the same online publication in New York City. With both having nowhere they want to be for Christmas, they volunteer for a special writing assignment. After a snowstorm forces their plane to land in none other than Santa Claus, Indiana, the two are placed in a Christmas Wonderland and the focus of their story shifts to saving the historic town inn run by Carol and Christopher Winters. As the two overcome their differences, they also rediscover the magic of Christmas. But with the inn's fate in jeopardy and the return of someone from Jenna's past, Carol and Christopher lend a helping hand to bring Jenna and Kevin together."

What Men Want

This...was a weird one.  "A Bride for Christmas" is a 2012 Hallmark Christmas movie about a woman who leaves guys at the alter being courted by a guy who can't commit. Aside from the guy getting teased by his guy friends for an inability to commit (a conversation that's never happened in the history of guys hanging out), but one of the character jokingly says she's gay in the first ten minutes. That may not be odd for real life or even a normal movie, but in the Hallmark universe, this sort of thing is rare. They never say whether she was being honest or joking and this really bothered Elizabeth for some reason. She goes on an Internet crusade mid-episode to figure out whether or not the character was actually gay.  Do we ever get to the bottom of a single supporting character's sexual orientation? Tune into find out.

We take a break from the mind-numbing monotony of the Hallmark Christmas movies to review The Grinch. It stars Benedict Cumberbatch as a green dog-like human who can't seem to meet a man who likes Christmas but has 25 days to find one who likes to bake cookies and decorate trees and OH MY GOD THIS ONE IS ALSO LIKE A HALLMARK MOVIE SOMEHOW!  Just kidding. It's just another adaptation of the Grinch, this time without the horrifying Jim Carrey prosthetics.

How long would it take to bake cookies for something known as a cookie crawl? A few hours, tops, right? Even not knowing what a cookie crawl is, that would be your guess wouldn't it?  FORGET THAT.  According to today's movie we reviewed from the Hallmark Channel, cookie crawl prep would take weeks on end. In today's episode we review Christmas Joy. Here's the description from IMDB: "She's a corporate market researcher, gunning for a promotion within her firm. Just as her company's CEO is taking notice, Joy finds out her Aunt Ruby has broken her ankle and will be undergoing surgery. Despite the less than opportune timing, Joy makes her way back home to Crystal Falls, NC to be with her Aunt. Stars seem to be aligned as Joy sees her former crush, Ben Andrews, while at the hospital. At first, Joy is focused solely on helping her Aunt heal; even taking over her position as chair of the local Cookie Crawl competition. Eventually, she begins to let Ben in and remembers there's no place like home for the holidays. The pair work together on the Cookie Crawl to make the event a success."
